How to install docker on
PFC100
Not officially supported! Use at your own risk.
Please use PFC200 G2 with Docker in production.
The PFC100 only has 256MB of eMMC flash memory internally, of which only 32.6MB is available in root partition. !
This is not enough storage for docker + containers.!
The work around is to prepare a special SD card to boot and run docker, which this procedure explains.!
This requires many steps, and is not ideal.!
This is not recommended for production use, only testing as SD cards are not as reliable as eMMC.
Question: Why can’t I install docker on the PFC100? Why does it fail when I try to install it?
Step 1:
Download FW17 from this location!
https://github.com/WAGO/pfc-firmware/releases
Step 2:
- Download Balena Etcher from this location!
https://www.balena.io/etcher/!
- Install the application
Step 3:
- Insert a blank SD Card (8GB or 16GB) into USB SD Card Reader!
- Plug this into your computer
Step 4:
Use Balena to create a bootable FW17 image on the SD Card.
Step 5:
- Insert this SD card into the PFC100. !
- Apply 24VDC power
Blank
Step 6:
Use Ethernet Settings find the PFC100 IP address if you have a DHCP server.!
If not, you can use the ‘RST button trick’ (See below) optionally.
‘RST button trick’

DHCP
Note: this is temporary, a

-Turn offPLC!
-Remove SD Card!
-Apply 24VDC to power PLC
Step 7: Step 8:

Docker is installed!
Step 15:
-If using DHCP, proceed to step 18.!
-If using Static IP, set network DNS to 8.8.8.8 !
Step 16:
-Verify PLC can ping google with ssh.!
If not using macOS, Linux or Win10, then you can use putty for ssh.
Step 18:
